The Bharatiya Janata Party called for a statewide shutdown in Kerala on Sunday to protest against the killing of a Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh worker allegedly by members of the Communist Party of India (Marxist). One person has been taken into custody and investigations are on to nab the others accused in connection the case.
The worker, identified as 34-year-old E Rajesh, died in a private hospital in Thiruvananthapuram after he was brutally attacked by four suspected youth wing activists of the CPI-M. Rajesh suffered serious injuries to his face, hands and legs. His left palm was also severed and thrown away, according to the state unit of BJP.
CPI(M)M has, however, refuted the charges. “There were some local issues in the area and in this incident, the CPI-M has no role,” Thiruvananthapuram district CPI-M Secretary Anavoor Nagappan said in a statement last night.
The total shutdown called by BJP has resulted in trouble for the people. People who reached railway stations unaware of the hartal had difficulty in getting vehicles to reach their homes.
Thiruvananthapuram has been witnessing a spate of violent clashes in the last two weeks with both the party workers clashing with each other every now and then. The attack on Saturday night comes days after the BJP state committee office was attacked by a group of CPI(M) workers. Post this, the residence of the son of CPI-M state Secretary Kodiyeri Balakrishnan was stoned. The police is maintaining a strict vigil in the area.
